**HD 125351** or **A Boötis** (**A Boo**) is multiple star system in the [constellation](/source/Constellation) [Boötes](/source/Bo%C3%B6tes). The system has an [apparent magnitude](/source/Apparent_magnitude) of +4.97, with a spectrum matching a [K-type](/source/K-type_star) [giant star](/source/Giant_star). It is approximately 233 [light-years](/source/Light-year) from [Earth](/source/Earth).

HD 125351 is an [astrometric](/source/Astrometric) and single-lined [spectroscopic binary](/source/Spectroscopic_binary) with a known 212-day orbit.[9] [Speckle interferometry](/source/Speckle_interferometry) has detected a companion at a separation of 0.09[″](/source/Second_of_arc), which is likely to be a different star from the unseen spectroscopic companion. It is 1.45 magnitudes fainter than the visible primary in the near [infrared](/source/Infrared). An orbital period of seven years is suggested. This would make HD 125351 a triple system. Further faint stars at separations of 14″ and 96″ share a [common proper motion](/source/Common_proper_motion) although any orbits would take many thousands of years.[7]
